Oh I do too! The light version is nice and airy.

Font embedding? What are that?

Airy is the word.

You know how text on websites is limited to universal fonts like Arial, Times, Verdana, etc.? Well font embedding allows you to use whatever fonts you want without having to make them images.

... that's the best invention of all time.

So I suppose it just temporarily gives the font to the browser and takes it back afterwards? :D

I'm not sure how well it works across all browsers but it's definitely very cool.

I'm not sure how it works to be honest.

My first laptop ever. And I didn't really buy it, it was free (brand new) as partial payment for a large freelance job I've just started for a startup.

HP - Pavilion / AMD Phenomâ„¢ II Processor / 17.3" Display / 4GB Memory / 500GB Hard Drive

So it's not the best thing ever, but I can't complain in any way. It should be faster than my home and work computers as it is.

To follow on from my recent documentary splurge

I've seen the first 'Wonders' series, and bits of the second. Its phenomenal though some of the stuff that happens around us (both on earth and in space), watching 'Life' has shown me how much in common we have with animals, and how nearly all animals have the same behaviour patterns and the same goals, they just get there by different means.

Just bought the classic yellow bolt. More as a collectible rather then something i'll ride. My second Lopez board. Guy is a master craftsman and still Mr Pipeline.
